S e r v i c e s
Congratulations to the SSI office this
month for winning the Safety Board!
Way to go, SSI!!
Kudos to LV tech Aaron Mattingly for receiving two fabulous customer compliments:
“I cannot say enough good things about Aaron. He was also training somebody, and I
noticed that he had great talent and ability at doing that as well. He helped us—he’s
the first one we’ve ever dealt with in our 12 years with Dish that actually took the
time with us to explain some things regarding our questions. I just wanted you to
know that he’s an excellent employee as far as I’m concerned, and we have no
qualms now about staying with Dish and not going to DIRECTV. I just wanted to put
those words in….Thank you so much.”
“I want to compliment a particular service man who was outstanding, enough that I
wanted to make a personal call….He is the most congenial, polite, and knowledge-
able young man, and I just felt that someone should know. I had the survey paper,
and it just didn’t seem to say what I wanted to say. Thank you very much.”

Thank you for your hard work and commitment to
customer service. We couldn’t do this without you!
2. The FTC website is: http://
www.consumer.ftc.gov/
articles/0148-prescreened-credit-
and-insurance-offers
The website to have your
name removed from the pre-
approval list is: https://www.
optoutprescreen.com/?rf=t
You will be required to enter your
name, social security number,
birthdate, address, and phone number
(the site is secured by Norton Se-
cured).
Want to boost your credit score easily
and quickly? Stop receiving “Pre-
Approved” offers! The FTC has a list
(much like the “Do Not Call” list—the
“Opt-Out” list. When you add your
name and social security number to it,
financial institutions, such as credit card
companies or loan companies, cannot
buy your name from the list to pre-
approve you for offers. Not only does
this stop a ton of junk mail from going
to you, but it raises your credit score
(up to 40 points!).
Raise your hand if you are
not the best with money…..
Ok, I KNOW I’m not the
only one raising my
hand here! Financial stuff
is confusing and over-
whelming. So, here are
some easy, user-friendly,
FREE resources that can
really point you in the right
direction, no matter how
much or little you
make, how much you have
in savings, or where you
are in life:
* Your credit score is ex-
tremely important to get
approved for anything,
from a Rent-A-Center
nightstand to a $500,000
house! The website www.
creditkarma.com is a free
website, no subscription
necessary, that helps you
monitor your finances. It is
completely safe and legit
andprovides you unlimited
access to your credit score
(TransUnion). Credit
Karma also provides
sound credit advice and
personalizes it to your
credit evaluation.
* In 2005, the government
passed a law that consum-
ers are allowed one free
credit report per
year. Your credit report
shows everything pertain-
ing to you—where you
have lived, your social
security number, every
credit-reporting account
you have opened. If there
are errors on your
report, it is important to get
them corrected. Negative
things on a credit report af-
fect your credit
score. On the flip side,
positive things on a credit
report affect your credit
score. While there are a
TON of scams online for
free credit reports, the
OFFICIAL website for the
free annualcredit report is
www.annualcreditreport.
com. It is completely se-
cure and safe. Your report
will be available immedi-
ately to print and will be
available to view for 30
days.
∗ By paying even $10
extra on a minimum pay-
ment for a loan or credit
card, you can reduce the
amount you pay overall on
the balance and shorten
the life of the balance. For
a very simple explanation
of this smart financial
move, check this link out:
